76 REPORT OF THE No. 3 



(b) The central portion consists of lots three (part), four, five, six, 

 seven, and part of eight, and those parts of lots one and two north of the 

 Mattagami River. 



The surface is mostly level although there are numerous portions of it 

 that are slightly rolling. 



With the exception of that in the immediate vicinity of the said Mat- 

 tagami River and small portions of the southern part of the township the 

 soil is generally a clay loam and is excellent for agricultural purposes. 



It is thickly covered with spruce four inches to ten inches, balsam 

 four inches to eight inches, throughout, with poplar four inches to twelve 

 inches and birch three inches to seven inches, on the knolls, and cedars three 

 inches to nine inches in the swampy portions. 



(c) The western division consists of lots eight (part of), nine, ten, 

 eleven and twelve. 



The surface is rolling and rocky and is interspersed with small areas of 

 good clay loam. 



The timber generally consists of spruce, balsam and poplar, with con- 

 siderable jackpine near the rocky portions and cedar in the swamps near the 

 lakes. 



A few straggling trees of white pine were seen in the western portion 

 of the township. 



The ground was all covered with snow and I found no trace of minerals 

 of any commercial value. 



The following is the record of iron posts to be found in and around 

 this township : — 



1. At the southeast corner of the township was found an iron post one 

 and one-quarter inches in diameter marked ''XVIII M," alongside the 

 wooden post. This iron post was marked by me "Godfrey 1" on the north- 

 west side, "Mountjoy XII" on the northeast side and "Con. 1" on the north 

 side. 



2. On the base line on the south boundary between lots six and seven 

 was found an iron post one and one-quarter inches in diameter marked 

 "XXI M" alongside a wooden post. This iron post was marked by me "YI" 

 on the east side, "VII" on the west side, and Con. 1" on the north side. 



3. An iron post one and seven-eighths inches in diameter was placed 

 one link east of the wooden post marking the southwest corner of the town- 

 ship and marked "Con. 1" on the north side, and "Godfrey Lot XII" on 

 the northeast side. At a point 1.16 chains east of this iron post was found 

 an iron post one and one-quarter inches alongside a wooden post, marked 

 "XXIV M" on the east side.

 of the wooden post marking the point between concessions three and four, 

 is an iron post one and one-quarter inches in diameter, marked "Lot 1" on 

 the west side, "Con. Ill" on the southwest side, and "Con. IV" on the 

 northwest side. 



5. One link south of the wooden post marking the intersection of the 

 concession line between concessions three and four and the side line between 

 lots six and seven is an iron post one and one-quarter inches in diameter and 

 marked "Con. Ill" on south side, "Con, IV" on north side, "Lot 6" on east 

 side, and "Lot 7" on west side.'
